Art Making/Material Exploration #1

1. Discuss what you thought about creating the Value Scale and Color Wheel.

I thought that both the value scale and color wheel were very interesting. The value scale taught me how all the shades in between black and white can affect mood and flow in a work. Also that there is a lot of shades in between black and white that leads room for interpretation. I enjoyed painting the color wheel because its intriguing how we get all our colors as a result of a combination of three.

2. Which media did you enjoy working with the best and why?
I enjoyed the water color paint because although expression can be felt through black and whites I feel its easier for me to express it with color. I haven't painted in awhile and it was fun. Water color is nice to work with and I like the translucent look it presents on the white paper.


3. What was the most important discovery in the creation of these studies?
I think the fact that red, blue, and yellow make up every color. Its interesting to look at the wheel and see the flow of the combination of these colors and what it could add up to.

4. What is the most important information you learned from watching the videos for this project? What is your opinion of the videos?

Although the videos were interesting, I enjoyed executing what we learned more. I feel like I learned more about the uses of the color wheel and the direction it is suppose to be in when I did it my self compared to the video. I appreciate the points made in the video about the shading from black to white. It's interesting how many in between shades there actually are and how there is infinite possibilities of these shades in between white and black.
